The developer does not allow any self-performance before acceptance

Our construction contract is a consumer construction contract according to the Building Code. Our developer does not want us to perform any own work before the preliminary acceptance of the house in February.

Self-performed work, such as tiles, carpet, parquet, painting, kitchen, may only be carried out after acceptance of the preceding trades by the client. If these works are started beforehand, it is considered acceptance of the trades covered by the self-performed work.

No liability is assumed by the contractor for the client’s self-performed work. This also applies to defects and consequential damages caused by this self-performed work.

If trades are carried out as self-performed work that are overbuilt by the contractor, such as electrical lines in the reinforced concrete ceiling, the client is responsible for this self-performed work and must check the functionality of their work before and after overbuilding. Damage must be reported immediately.

The company ****** does not assume any liability for any damages caused by third parties to the client’s self-performed work.

If the client places materials, kitchens, furniture, or other property on or in the construction before acceptance, no liability is assumed for any damages or theft caused by third parties.

All client’s self-performed work is carried out in coordination with the construction management and is integrated into the construction schedule. If delays for which the client is responsible occur, the construction period will be extended accordingly.

I can understand and comprehend that, but if we still want to do something beforehand, is there no way to draft something in writing stating that it happens at our own risk?
